Summary of the technology
This plasmid solves the problems of low efficiency and instability of transgenes in the genetic manipulation of microalgae, as well as offers a procedure for the expression of high amounts of the protein of interest and better transformation efficiency
Description of the technology
The plasmid is based on the translational fusion of the gene of interest with the paromomycin resistance gene, which lacks the mutagenic effects of other antibiotics and allows, thanks to the FMDV 2A self-hydrolyzing peptide, the independent production of the protein of interest and the antibiotic resistance. It includes a region of multi-cloning, which allows the insertion of any gene of interest, through a self-hydrolyzing peptide, FMDV 2A. In addition, prior to the multi-cloning region, we have introduced an epitope readily detectable by immunochemical techniques; and the entire cassette is under the control of the Chlamydomonas RbcS2 / HSP70A hybrid promoter. The relative position of the promoters relative to the multi-cloning region, and all elements of the plasmid have been optimized by eliminating unnecessary nucleotides to improve expression and thus to increase the efficiency of the transformation up to 3 times with respect to other plasmids having the same promoter . The main originality of our plasmid against others already exists is that it avoids the use of the BLE gene, resistance to bleomycin, which has been shown to be highly mutagenic and introduces undesirable alterations to isolated transformants.

Method based on a nutritional intervention to fight coccidiosisWe seek industrial partners with expertise in the sector of crop production to adopt a new technology useful to deliver optimized feed solution to fight coccidiosis. The type of partner sought is mainly for the regulatory codevelopment and the commercialization of our solution under a technology license agreement. The technology developed relates to a novel genetically engineered variety of maize accumulating extraordinary levels of carotenoids (β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin and lutein). Poultry raised on this corn were healthy and exhibited substantially higher levels of resistance to coccidiosis, less foot pad dermatitis, reduced number of ulcers and less excretion of pathogen oocysts in feces. Carotenoids accumulate in several tissues (skin, dermis, muscles and fat), conferring high nutritional value and greater consumer acceptance.

Method for the sequential immunochemical evaluation on a same biological sample of NCAM (Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule) protein and its PolySialic Acid (PSA) tail, by western blot coupled to chemiluminiscence detection.The method optimizes the expression assays of PSA-NCAM isoforms in biological samples available in small quantities or restricted (as is the case of human specimens, for example). It improves quantitative and qualitative performance of PSA-NCAM analysis by western blot.
